Chapter 422 Xun'er, Arrived at Shengdan City
Except for Xiao Ling, Qing Lin, Zi Yan, and Medusa, only Xin Lan and Ye Chong from the Ye family followed.
After all, in this kind of situation, it is useless to have too many people. It is better to stay in Yecheng to guard the base...
Several people followed Ye Chong to shuttle around the city. Ten minutes later, they appeared in the North Square. Although the Ye family is now in decline, the tiger is thin, but the remaining power is still there.
At least in Yecheng, there is no big force that can challenge the status of the Ye family. Therefore, this space wormhole that is quite coveted is still under the control of the Ye family.
Obviously, Ye Chong had already given orders for passing through the space wormhole. Therefore, when Xiao Ling and others entered the square, it was just in an empty period.
Xiao Ling and his party climbed onto the stone platform, and the slowly rotating space wormhole appeared in everyone's sight. The space wormhole in Yecheng looked quite majestic.
However, judging from the chaotic spatial fluctuations that slowly emanated from the space, this space wormhole has not been maintained for many years. Even when Xiao Ling and his friends used it before, they felt that the efficiency of this space wormhole was not as stable as other places...
"Alas, when my Ye family was glorious, there were two Dou Zun strongmen who volunteered to maintain the wormhole. But with the decline of the family, my Ye family can no longer hire strongmen of this level. I am sorry to make you laugh..." Looking at the space wormhole, Ye Zhong smiled bitterly and said.
In Ye Zhong's bitter smile and the silence of Xiao Ling and others, Zi Yan curled her lips contemptuously, with a hint of disdain in her voice: "This is just a small matter, maintaining a space wormhole, it's just a piece of cake for me. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll help you solve it."
As soon as the voice fell, Zi Yan quietly let go of Xiao Ling's hand, and under the gaze of everyone, she walked forward slowly and walked towards the deep space wormhole.
In Zi Yan's beautiful eyes like purple gemstones, the purple halo was vague, as if it contained mysterious power. When she gently stretched out her palm and touched the space wormhole, the silver space fluctuations danced in her palm, just like a smart and gentle elf, which seemed extremely dreamy and mysterious.
Zi Yan's movements were quick and concise. As she began to mobilize the power of space, the rotation of the space wormhole gradually became orderly, and the originally chaotic space fluctuations also quickly calmed down under the comfort of this power.
Less than two minutes later, this space channel has undergone earth-shaking changes, as if it has experienced a rebirth.
"This is..." Ye Zhong looked at the brand new space wormhole in front of him in surprise. It no longer had any sense of disorder, but was deep and quiet, like a quiet lake, waiting for the exploration of the passerby.
Xiao Ling and others did not say anything when they saw this scene. After all, Zi Yan's original body is the Taixu Ancient Dragon, and she has an extraordinary mastery of the power of space. Maintaining a mere space wormhole is just a piece of cake for her.
And after Zi Yan's maintenance, the quality of this space wormhole must be far better than before. Even when the space wormhole was first opened, it didn't have such an effect.
"Miss Zi Yan, your ability is really amazing." Ye Zhong admired sincerely, with deep respect for Zi Yan in his eyes.
Although it was just a casual move by Zi Yan, it was a great favor to the Ye family. With Zi Yan's help this time, the Ye family will not need to ask others to maintain the space wormhole for a long time, which can save the Ye family a lot of expenses in this regard.
"Oh, this lady is just a casual thing, don't worry so much." Zi Yan's tone was a little playful, and she waved her hand lightly, as if the feat just now was just a trivial matter.
She nodded slightly with pride, then returned to Xiao Ling and took Xiao Ling's hand again.
Xiao Ling smiled at Zi Yan's actions, nodded slightly to show his approval, and then turned to Ye Chong with a hint of urgency in his tone: "Elder Ye Zhong, there is no time to lose, let's set off quickly."
Ye Chong came back to his senses from the shock, he nodded, realizing the urgency of time: "Yes, Master Xiao Ling is right, we shouldn't stay here too long."
Then he took out a black boat that looked a bit complicated from the ring, rubbed his palm for a while, then stepped lightly, and walked straight into the slowly rotating black wormhole. Afterwards, Xiao Ling and others followed closely.
In the silent space channel, Xiao Ling and others flashed out, and Ye Chong threw the black boat and it swelled in the wind, turning into a huge ship.
This spaceship is the most luxurious one Xiao Ling has seen since he entered Zhongzhou. It is not much different from the one Xiao Ling used before. It seems that Ye Zhong really put a lot of thought into it.
Several people boarded the giant ship. Ye Zhong touched the bow of the ship with ease. A circle of energy light shield quickly extended and surrounded the hull.
Immediately, the hull shook and accelerated suddenly. With a "whoosh", it flew towards the space wormhole with no end in sight...
"Yecheng does not have a space channel directly to Shengdan City, so we can only go to a city called Qingling City first, and then reach Shengdan City from the space wormhole there..."
Ye Zhong turned around and smiled at Xiao Ling and others on the ship, saying: "It takes three days from here to Qingling City, and it takes about four days from Qingling City to Shengdan City. So we are afraid that it will take seven or eight days before we reach Shengdan City."
"During this period, you can rest in the spaceship, which has a separate room. As for the operation of the spaceship, leave it to me and Xin Lan..."
Xiao Ling and others did not object to Ye Zhong's suggestion. After a brief exchange, they each entered the cabin and found a room suitable for them to settle down.
Traveling in the space channel is indeed a boring and silent journey. But for Xiao Ling and others who are used to practicing alone, such an environment did not bring them too much discomfort.
Several people found their own space, immersed in practice or meditation, and occasionally communicated to pass the time.
As time passed, a few days of space channel travel passed quickly. The group arrived at their destination, Qingling City, safely.
In Qingling City, they just stopped for a while and took the necessary rest. Afterwards, without wasting any time, several people immediately rushed to the space channel of Qingling City and prepared to go directly to Shengdan City.
During the short stay in Qingling City, Xiao Ling and his party finally experienced the incredible attraction of the Alchemy Conference. The streets were bustling with alchemists in various costumes, forming a unique landscape.
Even Xiao Ling, who had traveled all over the world and had a broad vision, had to admit that only the number of alchemists in Shengdan City, where he had been, could be compared with the grand occasion here.
"This is just a city in the Alchemy Domain, and it is so spectacular at this time." Xiao Ling secretly marveled in his heart. He imagined how shocking the scene would be when all the alchemists gathered in Shengdan City.
In his mind, imagining the spectacular scene of thousands of fires rising, thousands of tripods falling, and thousands of pills coming into the world, even Xiao Ling, who was determined to win the championship of this Alchemy Conference, couldn't help but feel a surge of heat in his heart.
For any alchemist, that kind of scene is a once-in-a-lifetime event. At this moment, Xiao Ling's blood seemed to boil, and he felt an unprecedented excitement and expectation.
"If you can witness such a grand occasion in your life, you will have no regrets." Xiao Ling murmured to himself, his eyes flashing with a firm light, and his heart was full of longing for the upcoming trip to Shengdan City...
The Alchemy Conference is the most grand conference in the alchemy world. Countless alchemists have practiced all their lives, and their ultimate goal is to stand out in the Alchemy Conference. To this end, they have made countless efforts and sweat.
Participating in the Alchemy Conference will qualify you to compete with the heroes of the continent! This is a recognition of strength. Ten thousand tripods rise together, who can be respected?
With that kind of boiling blood, Xiao Ling and his party finally followed the long flow of people and entered the dark space wormhole...
...
Shuttling inside the space wormhole should have been dead and monotonous, but this time the situation was very different. In the spacious space channel, spaceships passed by like meteors, their speed was extremely fast, leaving behind a series of light and roar.
These ships were large or small, some were gorgeous, some were simple, but without exception they were all in a hurry, and the alchemists on the ships were either talking excitedly or nervously preparing for the upcoming alchemy meeting.
In this noisy trend, the name of Shengdan City was like a magnet, attracting alchemists from all directions.
The four-day journey was just a blink of an eye for Xiao Ling and his friends who were used to long-distance travel. But this journey was not so boring because of the lively environment around. And in this noisy journey, Shengdan City, the venue of this alchemy meeting, was getting closer and closer.
After four days of traveling, a circle of silver light loomed in the distance of the space wormhole. The silver light emitted amazing spatial fluctuations, as if announcing to people that the destination was approaching...
When gradually approaching the silver light circle at the exit, the noise originally coming from countless spaceships suddenly became strangely quiet.
Figures dressed in alchemist robes came out of the spaceships one after another, their eyes full of enthusiasm, staring closely at the silver light circle...
Shengdan City, this name occupies a supreme position in the hearts of all alchemists. It is the holy land of the alchemy world and the place that all alchemists dream of...
Xiao Ling and his companions also felt the change in this atmosphere. Several people stood at the bow of the spaceship, and their eyes were also attracted by the silver light circle in the distance.
Suddenly, Xiao Ling seemed to have a feeling in his heart and looked at the Lingxi pendant on his chest. At this time, the black fish jade pendant was emitting a faint halo, which seemed quite mysterious...
Xiao Ling felt the throbbing coming from the jade pendant, and his sight unconsciously turned to the direction of the East Region and looked into the distance.
Although Xiao Ling's naked eyes still saw the bottomless darkness and depth of the space wormhole, his perception seemed to surpass the scene in front of him, and his eyes seemed to have penetrating power.
He passed through the barriers of many spaces, crossed countless distances, and finally stopped at the top of a mountain.
At the top of the mountain, the figure of a woman in green clothes was particularly eye-catching.
She was slender and graceful, with a temperament like a lotus. Her figure seemed ethereal and mysterious in the swirling clouds, looming, as if she could be blown away by the wind at any time.
The existence of the woman in green is like a moving landscape painting, quiet and profound, which makes people yearn for it.
At the top of the distant mountain peak, the girl in green seemed to sense Xiao Ling's gaze, or perhaps her own heart was throbbing. She turned around slowly, looking through the fog and looking in the direction of the Dan Domain. .
At that moment, her and Xiao Ling's eyes met invisibly, and each other's figure appeared in each other's eye masks...
The face of the girl in green is elegant and pure. Her beauty is not tainted with any worldliness, as if she is a fairy walking out of a painting.
When she and Xiao Ling looked at each other, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, revealing a faint smile. The whole world seemed to be intoxicated at this moment, and the color between heaven and earth was eclipsed.
Although there is an immeasurable distance between Xiao Ling and the girl in green, this touching picture has transcended the barrier of space and is deeply imprinted in Xiao Ling's mind...
"Brother Xiao Ling..."
In this silent space wormhole, a soft and ethereal female voice suddenly sounded in Xiao Ling's ears. The voice seemed to come from the distant sky, and seemed to ring directly in the depths of his soul.
That voice was full of kindness and dependence, which made Xiao Ling's heartstrings tremble slightly.
As the voice fell, the picture in front of Xiao Ling began to blur, and the beautiful figure of the girl in green and the mountain gradually began to slowly dissipate like bubbles in a dream.
That beautiful smile, that elegant and beautiful face, were like smoke blown away by the wind, fading away from his sight little by little.
"Xun'er..."
Xiao Ling murmured to himself unconsciously. As these words fell, Xiao Ling's vision changed back to the dark and deep space passage.
"What's wrong, Xiao Ling? I didn't see Xun'er either. Why did you call her name all of a sudden?" At this time, Zi Yan tugged at the corner of Xiao Ling's clothes, squeezed Xiao Ling's palm, and took it back. He asked with curiosity on his face as he looked around.
Xiao Ling slowly pulled away from the hesitation just now, and faced Zi Yan's inquiring eyes. The corners of his lips raised slightly, outlines a soft smile, "It's nothing, Zi Yan, I was just a little distracted. I just remembered Xun'er."
"Indeed, considering your relationship with Xun'er, if she were here, she would definitely accompany you every step of the way." Zi Yan nodded and continued,
"It's true that I haven't seen Xun'er for a long time. I think that when I was at Canaan College, I took a lot of her medicinal materials. Now that I'm rich, I will naturally get better when I see Xun'er next time. Just prepare some gifts and thank her properly.”
Xiao Ling rubbed Zi Yan's little head and said with some humor: "That girl is much more arrogant than you, and she's just as good as you..."
…
Space ships flashed past like meteors across the dark sky, and then swarmed into the huge silver circle like fish entering the sea...
The black space ship that Xiao Ling and others were on also followed the current and faced the extremely violent space fluctuations, quickly swept into the circle of light, and then disappeared.
When it broke into the silver circle of light, the violent space fluctuations caused the entire space ship to jolt violently.
However, this turbulence only lasted less than ten seconds and then slowly dissipated. And the silver light that filled the sights of Xiao Ling and others became weaker and weaker.
After a while, silver light suddenly burst out, and the dazzling light made Xiao Ling and others habitually narrow their eyes slightly...
While Xiao Ling and others closed their eyes, a soft breeze suddenly came towards them. The gentle touch gradually relaxed the hearts of the group that were tense due to the rush.
Slowly opening his eyes, the huge red square came into view. Xiao Ling knew that this was the huge Holy Pill City, one of the eight spatial points in the Outer Domain.
Xiao Ling has been to this place before, but perhaps because the Dan Meeting is approaching, the space point is particularly crowded and noisy at this time.
The alchemists who came to participate in the competition, or the high-ranking officials and powerful people who came to watch the battle, all came in a steady stream. Compared with the previous time when Xiao Ling came two years ago, it was much more lively. Times...
"Elder Ye Zhongzhong, although this is not the first time I have come to Shengdan City, I am not very familiar with this place. I will leave it to you to arrange the next matters." Xiao Ling retracted his gaze and looked at Ye Zhong said.
"Master Xiao Ling, I understand. Next, I will go to my Ye family's annex in Shengdan City to rest. I will make arrangements for the test and the registration for the Alchemy Club in the future, so I won't let Master Xiao Ling worry about it." Ye Chong nodded slightly and nodded in response.
Xiao Ling and others came to Shengdan City a little late this time, almost at the exact time of the internal assessment. The day after arriving at Shengdan City was when this internal assessment began.
After bringing Xiao Ling and others to the Ye family's courtyard in Shengdan City, Ye Zhong left alone to handle some procedures required for the assessment.
…
At the same time, in the courtyard of the Cao family in Shengdan City, after Cao Ying listened to the servant's report, a bright light flashed in her originally lazy eyes...
Gently closing the book she was reading in her hand, Cao Ying slowly raised her head, looked out the window, and murmured softly to herself: "Sure enough, at this Dan meeting, you will definitely not You missed it. Don’t lose to me when the competition comes..." (End of Chapter)
